Her mission is to change the perception of gaming as a 'boys only' activity. Two young boys planted in front of the TV for hours at a time in a 100 versus 100 battle royale shoot ‘em up.

Id may not have a broad cast of characters to fall back on for Quake Champions, but they do have some memorable monsters. The Death Knight – resurrected from his role as a mid-tier armoured annoyance in Quake 1 – has retained his classic spread-fireball attack as his active ability. Every now and then he can swing his sword to launch a fan of three fireballs that cause burning damage over time to anyone hit, or to anyone who tries to cross their flaming trail … [Read more...] about Quake Champions returns bots to active duty and introduces Death Knight
